Georg Elser was just a working-class citizen living in Munich,
Germany. He was employed as a carpenter and had spent some time
working in a watch factory. That all changed when he took it upon
himself, without telling his family or friends, to single-handedly
attempt to assassinate the most powerful man in all of Germany: the
Fuhrer, Adolf Hitler. Elser's plan centered on the Munich beer
hall, where he knew Hitler would be making a speech. Working slowly
and in secret, he started to assemble the bomb that he would use to
try to kill Hitler. When finished, the bomb was hidden in a
hollowed-out space near the speaker's podium. The bomb went off
successfully, killing eight people . . . but Hitler was not one of
them. Bombing Hitler is an incredible tale that takes you back to
1939 and recreates the steps that led Elser from the Munich beer
hall, to his attempted escape across the Swiss border, and, sadly,
to the concentration camp where his heroic life ended. Read for the
first time the epic and tragic story of a man who stood up for what
he knew was right, opposed the most powerful man in Germany, and
came close to single-handedly ending the war. Skyhorse Publishing,
as well as our Arcade imprint, are proud to publish a broad range
of books for readers interested in history--books about World War
II, the Third Reich, Hitler and his henchmen, the JFK
assassination, conspiracies, the American Civil War, the American
Revolution, gladiators, Vikings, ancient Rome, medieval times, the
old West, and much more. While not every title we publish becomes a
New York Times bestseller or a national bestseller, we are
committed to books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked and to
authors whose work might not otherwise find a home.
